Les Mis for Glasgow Hydro
Oct 2024 dates for Les Misérables arena spectacular
Tickets have gone on sale for the Glasgow leg of the Les Misérables Arena Spectacular world tour, which will be playing the Ovo Hydro, SEC, Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 October 2024 (tickets here).
The Arena Spectacular will be expanded from the hugely successful Les Misérables The Staged Concert, which played for over 200 performances in London’s West End. It will have new design, specifically created for arenas (and large theatres) with audiences of three to five thousand people.

The arena production will have a UK company of over 110 actors, musicians and crew. The core cast will be augmented by a series of celebrated Les Mis guest stars, appearing as their schedules allow.
Producer Cameron Mackintosh says: “This much anticipated world tour will be a unique opportunity for many celebrated performers to play their favourite roles for short periods in different parts of the world, so fans will get the chance to see their favourite stars (and mine!) in their favourite musical.
“Over the show’s nearly 40 years existence, it has also proved to be the launch pad for an extraordinary list of stars around the world, in many different languages and countries.”
The UK leg of the tour opens at the SSE Arena Belfast on 19 September 2024 (tickets), where it will play until 28 September 2024. Following its Glasgow dates it plays Sheffield’s Utilita Arena (10-13 Oct, tickets) and Aberdeen’s P & J Live Arena (17 – 20 Oct, tickets) before going on to continental Europe.
the public’s favourite musical
After Luxembourg, Geneva, Trieste, Milan, Copenhagen, Oslo and Zurich it returns to the UK at the turn of the year with dates in Manchester at the AO Arena (26 – 29 Dec, tickets) and at the Utilita Arena, Newcastle (2 – 5 Jan 2025, tickets) before moving on to Sweden, Australia, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
Mackintosh adds: “Both the show and the score of Les Mis continues to win poll after poll around the world as the public’s favourite musical of all time containing so many of the most memorable and beloved songs ever written for the musical theatre.
“The euphoria of the cast reunion performances of Miz are legendary and always prove a sell-out so I look forward to this unique event being the ultimate demonstration of Do You Hear The People Sing ever!”
